Customer Reviews

“Got a little canuck from DLT in mail call today, I gotta say Christian hit this one outta the park. It’s virtually flawless, polishing is incredible, pins are all matched, no gaps , can’t catch a nail anywhere. Not to brag but I have over 200 knives of quite a few makers and for the money this little guy puts a lot of them to shame. Awesome work fella’s !!!“

“I can’t believe I’ve had the best knife on the planet for a little over four years now. Here’s a sweet little trip down the Lishen memory lane. This was my second knife I ordered from Christian after he showed me a concept sketch… Prior to becoming the fulltime maker he is now, the Canuck was born during the 1×30 days and a DIY forge for heat treating which Is a beautiful reminder of the talent that Christian has to be able to make such a well executed knife with a fraction of the equipment he uses now.“

“Duuuuuude…This blade is über H
T! Christian, you killed it on this bad boy. So glad I waited to see it until unboxed it. Hats off to your expertise!
